SeMA Public Space Project 《The Dance That Crosses Forever》

Published Date : Aug 26, 2025 / Edited Date : Aug 26, 2025

The Seoul Museum of Art presents its 2025 Public Space Project featuring world-renowned artist Ernesto Neto, who has broadened the horizon of contemporary sculpture. His new work Ba Ka Ba, The Dance That Crosses Forever is a large-scale installation traversing the lobby and open areas of the Seosomun Main Building. The work is crafted by crocheting industrial cotton fabrics in brown, reminiscent of tree trunks and night, and in pink, symbolizing flowers and day, filled with locally sourced guava leaves and tea tree leaves.

The spirit of Brazil’s Neo-Concrete movement—emphasizing sensory engagement, participation, and subjective experience—finds new life in Neto’s work within today’s urban spaces, extending the possibilities of art. The SeMA Public Space Project 《The Dance That Crosses Forever》 aims to present a venue where art awakens the senses in everyday life, as city and museum converge.
